For a while ago I was complaining about a bug in shutdowntime with 1.15.6beta kernel: pid 96 (shutdown): dispose_fileptr: f->links == -1 FATAL ERROR. You must reboot the system. I have found the reason for the bug, it was a line in mint.cnf: PRN=u:\dev\prn it still exist in 1.15.7beta and If I not remember wrong this bug was in 1.15.5 too. // ZPQ
